Oil System Inspections
The oil pan, reservoir, gaskets, and hardware make up an oil system. These parts are susceptible to wear and tear. Oil system inspections determine if there is damage to a part. There are some signs that you can use to help you determine if you need an inspection.
Oil Leaks
Oil leaks occur when parts become worn out. You might have a leak if part of the oil system isn’t installed properly. And you may notice oil dripping from the bottom of your vehicle. You shouldn’t continue driving if you have a leak. A professional should inspect your vehicle during a routine service appointment.
Rough Handling
If your vehicle handles rougher than normal, it’s time for an inspection. And if the oil isn’t properly lubricating the engine, it may overheat. If there isn’t enough oil in the reservoir, the engine could seize. This would make your vehicle inoperable. Our mechanics test the oil quality and consistency during a service appointment.
Burning Smell
If the oil needs replenishing, you may notice a burning smell. A burning smell could indicate that the quality of the oil is bad. It could also indicate that you need to add more oil to the oil reservoir. Our mechanics use synthetic oils to replace old oil. These products will improve the performance of your vehicle.
Oil System Changes
Motor oil gets dirtier and dirtier every time you drive. Oil that contains contaminants won’t provide a vehicle with adequate lubrication. If there isn’t enough oil in the oil reservoir, mechanical issues may become evident.
Inspection
Our mechanics advise customers about oil inspections and the frequency at which the system should be checked. During an inspection, a technician will asses each part of the oil system.
Replacement Materials
We supply oil filters, gaskets, oil products, and other accessories that are needed to complete an oil change. Your technician will provide a quote that will cover the cost of the materials needed to change the oil. The existing oil, pan, and other oil system parts are removed and thrown away.
